first grow looking a little wierd.

So this is the first grow I have going and I have no side branching... my plant also started flowering under 18/6 lighting around 4 weeks, Planted straight from bag seed and im feedng it general hydro floranova bloom 4-8-7 once every 10 days into soil, regular spring water once every two days. Light set up, the new sun blaster 24 watt and 54 watt 6400k florescents and two 42 watt 2700k cfls. Just one girl. She gets just over 10,000 lumens of mixed light. The plant looks healthy and im assuming its an auto flower. I have seen other plants this age (5 weeks from sprout) and they have side branching everywhere.. why is mine mostly just one main stem.. am I missing something I should be doing? I have berry ryder auto and a 60 day lemon auto that I want to grow af ter this one so I want to make sure I do everything I can to make the most out of them.

pics would be helpful and you arent sure if this one is a auto..?? most likely is if its starting to flower lol

Bag seed, as in reggie, schwag? If they came from reggie they aren't auto...just the pheno you were dealt. since its probably a regular seed you should of topped it

I know the pot is a little small, only a 12 inch long pot but I will be switching to one about tripple the size right away. Anyways, any side branching that is there is extreamly small and only just starting to pop out a little more. Here is a pic of the entire thing. Like I said this girl is only 5 weeks old but I have seen others with alot more body to them.

When I say bag seed btw I mean I got a crop last year and the entire thing was filled with seeds.. the grower didnt bother taking out the males from the crop and I collected all the good seeds and have decided to give them a go.

and the reason i believe her to be an auto is because i had another one which ended up being a male and i kept them both under 18/6 light which has not changed and the male started producing pollen sacs and the female started shooting white pistols shortly after.

She looks like an auto...as far as i know, pretty much all autos develope only one main stalk and no side branching. They're mainly meant for SOG IMO.

How long have you had them on veg lighting time?

They were this lazy

From sprout. This girl has never changed out of 18/6. Is there a better lite cycle for her if she's auto? I've heard of people doing 20/4 or even 24 on

Looks stretching to me, but then i'm clueless with autos.

I know... it's sad.. but it was still good bud so I can imagine what this stuff is going to turn out like without putting energy into seed production.

Looks to me like you need more light. stretching would be my vote as well.
